Liberal Love's Failure

One answer to Patrick Deneen's question, Why Liberalism Failed, not necessarily opposed to Deneen's own more LeftBrain position, yet considerably shorter, is: Profoundly democratic liberalism, like Christianity, has failed because it has not been multiculturally tried, to paraphrase anti-colonizing and non-violent communicating Mahatma Gandhi. Strangely, this may also be a kind of corollary to respond to a different title, How the West was Won, which would thereby postulate How the West was Lost by Win/Lose capitalist pretensions to overpower Win/Win resilient integrity.
